Oh, and it isn't enough that the site has become completely casual-oriented; they've completely removed every game pre-DS and Wii from their database. |

Well, what do you expect when games for GBA and Gamecube are literally Yesterday's News? I mean, what is today, but yesterday's tomorrow? |

I like the new layout.. but they did remove a ton of stuff.
They have totally stripped out all community features like game ratings. ( http://www.nintendowifi.com still has a link to the NSider forums  )
Also, none of the game pages have screenshots or videos.
I bet it has a lot to do with not being affiliated with Nintendo Power anymore. |

Are all the pages just the text on the back of the box? |

Well, there's negatives to this, but there's possibly a positive, as well. The negative being obvious (Lack of content), and the positive depending on how you look at it- Seeing that Nintendo owes alot of its success to casual games, making the site more casual-oriented could be a good thing. At least, for Nintendo. My own opinion towards the new layout/style is neutral, but I do agree that the lack of content is a major step back. |

Isn't Nintendo Power's site basically going to become the new Nintendo website anyway. |

Nintendo keeps forgetting that Hard-core gamers exist. I think ssbb is gonna be the last hard-core one for a while, and even then they're simplifying it.  |

What gives you the idea that they're simplifying it? = / |

I've been generalizing the updates, and seeing that Sakurai is making a concious approach toward making the game more accessible.
And, with Nintendo, this tends to lessen the learning curve. |

^ *OFF-TOPIC* I looked at your sig, Myst, and I hate you now.
*On-Topic* Yes, it sucks. They don't know any Hard-Core gamer anymore. |
